The "edit. Opt." Of Pausanias, the famous Greek geographer and traveler of the 2nd century. This work has proved an invaluable guide to archaeological studies of ancient Greek cities. This edition has the advantage of being divided into chapters, with the arguments prefixed to each book, and the notes of Xylander and Sylburgius accompanying each page. It also contains the preface of the Hanover and Frankfort editions. See Dibdin's GREEK AND LATIN CLASSICS, Vol. II, p. 272.
